I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

Very tired this morning.  BEAUTIFUL morning :)  My hip was not too bad this morning.  I iced it last night, and am icing it right now.  Frozen pop corn kernels makes the best ice pack ;)

I am off to work, costco, Sun Flower Market, lunch with David and packing for Girls Camp.  Have a GREAT week.  I am not sure that I will blog again until thursday :)

Sounds like a busy day! Have a great time and nice run--hope the pain stays away!

Hi April! It should stay away. It has bugged me for a very long time. That ITB is REALLY tight on that side and it gets me in the hip. :)

Have a great time at camp. Let that leg continue to heal and don't get eaten by anything bigger than a skeeter.

We'll miss you.

Sorry, I didn't get back soon enough-- but I'm sure I can talk the J into carpooling. Also- I made a Diva-Rocker's mix and I'll make 10 for RHPC half marathon prizes. You're gonna love it! Have fun at Sunflower!!! (closest thing to Trader Joe's this side of San Diego). XOXO

You are a wild woman. You will have a great time at camp, I'm sure. I can't wait to hear about how your running at camp went.

From marion on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 16:45:07 from 71.213.113.143

Thanks everybody! I am off to shop for the trip :) Why do I make the rule of NO SHORTS before i find out that my 3 girls don't have any long pants anymore! They cut them all off for the summer !! ARGH!!!

Sun Flower market- $1.77 per lbs for extra lean organic ground beef :) Good times!! I went back 3 times... only 4 pks per visit! ;D

From montelepsy on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 01:55:27 from 64.203.113.50

When icing your hip, do you lie on your side and let gravity do the work or just stuff the corn down your pants?

From The Howling Commando on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 10:12:27 from 72.224.24.41

Mor importantly... do you EAT THE POPCORN after youre done icing? mmmm popcorn.

From Smooth on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 22:47:44 from 70.56.100.70

Where is this SunFlower market?? I need a "good earth" type store closer to Spanish Fork. Any helpful hints??

From Maurine/Tarzan on Wed, Jul 01, 2009 at 13:43:54 from 63.255.172.2

It's across from University Mall. There is another one in Murray by Fashion Place Mall.

From kellies on Wed, Jul 01, 2009 at 13:46:56 from 160.7.238.59

Man, see..........I don't want to go to Orem!! Oh well I guess I will just keep eating crap food until someone opens a health food market/food joint closer to where I live :)
